Much of the previous work in recent years on SC generation has used fibers as the nonlinear medium. Despite their relatively low Kerr nonlinearity, fibers can provide several advantages for SC generation, including guided propagation over scalable interaction length and the ability to engineer material dispersion profiles, such as in photonic crystal fibers [1]}. Dispersion properties of fibers and a multitude of NIR laser sources together allow for pumping in the anomalous/negative group-velocity dispersion (GVD) regime, where soliton dynamics often play a significant role in both propagation and broadband frequency generation [2]}.
